Hi folks,

	If anyone remembers my message of shock and horror at paying more
than 3 times more for the FreeBSD 2.0.5R CDROM right in the front room of
WC CDROM than I would have paid at a show... well I'd like to thank the
people at WC CDROM for there recent response to the situation.

	As it turns out, my original message sent to info@cdrom.com got
lost in the woodwork somewhere.. understandable, it happens.  However,
after a couple of e-mails (and a cheesey hint;) between Jordan and 
myself ;),  Jordan was very happy to offer to *mail* me the 2.1R CD 
at no cost for the CD or the shipping.  How can I help but say, "Hats off
to Jordan, Kelly and the rest of WC CDROM" :)

	I'd also like to say thanx to Jordan and all of those on c.u.b.f.m
(except possibly the prickish jerks who had snotty responses) who taught me
a bit of manufacturer/distributor/retailer economics.  Looks like I'll be
buying from shows from now on... I wouldn't want to ignore all that advice
and put your retailers out of business :)
